Final experimental homework...
https://noisybox.net/blog/2022/03/experimental_compositions_homework4
2022-03-14T03:00:00.000Z
<p>Last week was the fourth and final week for the
<a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/experiences/composing-experimental-music-course">experimental music course</a> I've been taking. Due to being busy with other
things, I had put off the "homework" for a week and got back to experimentation
this weekend.</p>
<p>Last week's lesson was all about synth techniques. What a doozy! I feel like
that's a very difficult subject to cram into a 90 minute session. Even
if you can be certain that people have some exposure to basic signal theory
and techniques, it's really difficult to describe a patch and there's
definitely some problems around expecting people to have access to specific
modules (are formant and shepherd filters that commonplace? lol).
As an exhibition, it was very cool...but as a teaching/learning session,
I think it was a bit of a stretch.</p>

<p>I did 3 or 4 different patches, one of which was strongly inspired
by one of Jamie Stewart's example patches in the class (although I
made a couple small tweaks). I took some of the session audio and
arranged it into this rough track:</p>

<p>Honestly, in a pretty dark place while making these. Stoked with how they turned
out, but the mix could use a lot of love, something that I'm not going
to put time into right now though.</p>

<p>I made a DIY eurorack module using 3 arcade switches to trigger gates. Check it out:</p>

<p>The <a href="https://github.com/TomWhitwell/RadioMusic">Radio Music</a> by <a href="http://www.musicthing.co.uk">Music Thing Modular</a> is a awesome eurorack module that uses a <a href="https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html">Teensy</a> to play back sample files from an SD card with/out CV. It's awesome.</p>
<p>I wanted to build out my own sample pack by extracting audio from a set of video files, and built a tool to help do that. Maybe you're into this stuff and want to check it out too? Here's the source on github:</p>

<p>I made some textures with a synthesizer in sub-zero temperatures. Pretty fun, even with just a small number of starter modules...</p>
